A SERIOUS QUESTION.

The following extract from the Peta-
luna Courier voices the sentiment Of
a large portion Of the people:
For the last three months it is said
the arrival Of immigrants in New
York have averaged over 1000 a day.
In consequence of this immense in
nux the question of our immigration
policy is becoming a serious subject
of thought. When we consider, too,
that many of these immigrants are the
most undesirable class of Europeans,
and that they will swell the ranks Of
the dissatisfied element of our society,
already too large for healthy condi-
ton of our body polite, the question
becomes a grave one for consideration
with thoughtful minds. How long
can we stand this average increase of
1000 day. How long before the
dissatisfied element of society will
become so large and confident in its
increased strength that 1t will en-
1cavor to introduce some of the re-
evolutionary forms of government it
has been SO long advocating? Wise
men of our country have long believed
some check would have to be placed
upon the increasing flow of foreign
immigration, and the question is daily
becoming more and more serious.
We already have in our cities and
larger towns more laborers than can
get steady, remunerative employment,
and each new laborer coming to this
country makes it still more difficult
for those already here. Why pass
tariff laws TO protect the laborer by
placing heavy duties on foreign made
goods, and then leave the door wide
open tor the unlimited introduction of
cheap labor?

1t happens that at the present time
there Is demand for labor in great
many of the mining camps of this
State In consequence of this de-
mand the laboring men are enjoying
comparatively good times. Whoever
wants work can get it, and this con-
dition of affairs insures the highest
independence to the poor man who
looks to labor for his support. The
present call for men is owing to the
closing of so many mines and mills a
few years ago and the consequent
departure of the wage workers for
places where their services could he
used Now no one can be found will
ing to work who is wasting his time
and missing his meals while looking
for employment. The poor men are
enjoying good times; the many arc
making living, and where they so
choose are laying by a little for the
days that are coming when work will
not be so easy to get. As soon how
ever as the news spreads to the many
places where men are struggling for
scanty wages, then will come.a crowd
which will renew the scenes of few
years ago, when every road was lined
with foot-sore travellers searching for
an opportunity to make a living.
As the men will come it is better that
they come from some oyercrowded
section of our own land than that they
shouln be brought here from some
other country, and the workmen of
Nevada can readily see that arrivals
from Europe will crowd men from
the Eastern States to compete for the
opportunities that are here. None
but those directly interested in re-
duction of wages or those who hope
TO derive benefit from the troubles
arising from hard times will advocate
the destruction of the present oppor-
tunities of poor men, for the benefit
of strangers.

THE VATICAN AND DIR. MeGLYNH,

The attitude of DR.. McGlynn toward
the chief authorities of his church has
been long one which those authorities
could not tolerate without fatally i'm.
pairing their prestige. The Vatican
condemned certain politlco economical
views taught by DIR. McGlynn, and
cited him to appear at Rome to defend
and explain them The Doctor denied
the right of the Vatican to interfere
with his conduct as citizen, so long
as ne taught nothing contrary to the
teachings of the Christian religion or
to natural morality; and at last he de.
scribed the Vatican or the highest OIL
cial OF his church as "the Roman
machine" which he ridiculed and con
teamed, d clar ing, according TO report
that nothing he might say in explana-
ton or defense of his views could
have any effect in diminishing the
stupidity, in enlightening the gross
Ignorance or bending the obstinacy OF
that machine;' and the last words OF
his interview, as reported, express
contemptuous defiance.
1.-THE engineers of the Roman ma.
chine, who are profiting by its power
and its emoluments, are really laugh
ing in their sleeves at us for our exces-
sive submissivenes to their power, and
for our excessive generosity in contrib.
uting the Peters pence for the support
of the whole army of lackeys and fun
keys, both lay and cleric, who surround
the Pope with barbaric pomp scarcely
equalled by that of any imperial des-
potlc court
There can be but one result OF such
a controversy, so far as DIR. McGlynn
ia concerned. He VIII certainly be no
longer accepted as minister Of the
Roman Church. But his formal ex-
communication would be due probably
to contumacy rather than to the teach
ing of erroneous economical doctrines.

w. NJ. Gibson, who of late has really
ruled the Hawaiian Kingdom, is re-
ferred to by portion of the Ameri-
can press as a Mormon. The Salt
Lake Tribune evidently knows the
man, and says
"Gibson came here some thirty-five
years ago and Joined the Mormon
Church. He is most sharp and
shrewd rascal, and in little time so
won the the confidence of Brigham
Young that he sent him 10 Hawaii,
entrusting him with large sums OF
money and delegating to him author
ity to handle the affairs of the church
in that region. 1t seems that the
scuundrel simply stole the money and
betrayed every trust reposed in him.
He then fitted up a craft and for years
sailed from island to island in the
Southern Pacific, acquiring every dia-
lect of every tribe, until he knew both
the geography of the islands and the
nature of the people inhabiting them,
perfectly. In the meantime he ac-
cumulated money, and at last returned
to Honolulu and established himself.
Besides his knowledge of the languag.
es and habits of the islands, he is
deeply learned in many of the alb
struse sciences, he is a natural dlplo-
mat, wonderful judge of human ma
tnre, and it was not long until he in
itiated himself into the grace of the
weak Kalakaua, and since then has
been the practical ruler of the Islands.
He has the face of bird of prey, and
all those who have had dealings with
the Government there acknowledge
his consumate ability and bear testi-
mony to his innate dishonesty. When
he is cited as a Mormon it is but fair
to say that he robbed his Mormon
friends and betrayed the trusts placed
by them in his hands, with the same
apparent absence of remorse that be
has ever since displayed in despoilllng
people. He is simply, as his face in
dictates, human bird of prey, and it
is pleasant to read that his power has
been finally broken. If in addition
the people conclude to hang him to
one of the beams of the warehouse
where at last accounts they had him
confined, the news that they had car
ried out their impulse will be pleasant
reading, for he has richly earned such
aculmlnation for bis career"

THE RESERVATION.

The people of this County regard.
less OF political difference are as one
respecting the uselessness of retain
ing the Walker River Reservation
Every candidate who comes here
promises 10 do something and MOTH
ing is done, While it will be admitted
that the Indians do not use the land
at all, that is, the land surrouning the
lake, and while it will also be admit
ted that the lake is sparingly used by
them, the idea Is allowed to remain in
Washington that Is a case of Indian
persecution. All of this simply non.
sence II the Southern half of the
Reservation were abandoned white
men would Immediately begin to
prospect and fish and the Piuies
could follow them. The Indians
would have the same privileges that
they now have and encouraged by the
presence of white men from whom
they could beg an occasional meal,
or for whom they could do an occa-
sional chore they would make much
more use of the territory and get
more benefit from it than at present.
1t is not claimed that the fishing
would add any immense sums to our
revenue or that very larger number
of men would make living from the
lake. but there would be an addition
anr there would be business for
white men where now there is none.
OF course the value of the mountains
ais treasure vaults is to be determined
but all experienced prospectors who
have seen the country are satisfied
that many rich lodges exist, none of
which can be developed while the
Indian authorities hold their line
around the territory. 1t is certain
that were the country opened there
would be crowd of prospectors
ready to 90 in and learn what is there.

THE 1NcANpEscENT LIGHT.
The System to be Started in Savannah
Tonight


The Brush Electric Light and Power
Company has begun to operate the mean
descent lights Tho ne cessary machinery
has been put in and it has been run for an
hour or two every night for the past week
to get it in good working order before the
light is regularly supplied. The company
has put in Bell engine, 70-horse power,
and two dynamos. The engine is gagged
for 300 revolutions minute, the small
dynamo for z, 400 and the large one for
l 600 The small dynamo is an EXETER"
its purpose being to render active the mag
nets in the larger one by sending current
around the circle of magnets in which the
armature revolves
The large dynamo generate the electricity
which is taken upon the wire and carried all
over the city. 1t then passes through the
converter" in which the current is rem
dered harmless, and is distributed to the
lamps. The system is the Westinghouse
alternating system, which has been in
operation only four months, Savannah
being the fifth place in the country where it
has been introduced
The new features of the system are that
instead of using dynamo that makes and
breaks the current alternately, by an
arrangement of the magnets around the
each revolution of the armature, thus accom-
plishing more perfect result in a simpler
manner. Then instead of running a large
copper wire for miles at IA heavy
expense and using an easy current, a very
small wire is used with a powerful current,
but that, of course, could not be run into
houses for it would be too dangerous, so the
converter is used, and its work is to increase
the volume, but decrease the force of the
current, leaving it harmless.
Supt Keck gave a very apt illustration
of the use of the converter" last night, by
comparing it with water pipe. The wires
first to a small pipe through which water is
forced with great rapidly, and which is
emptied into larger pipe and while the
water may fill the larger pipe it will flow
with much less force than in the smaller
ones. The Westinghouse system makes a
great difference in the cost of wire, and
besides is moro effective. Lights have been
put in several Of the downtown stores and
are working very successfully.

The First Estimates of Losses and Ii

The First Estimates of Losses and In
surance About Correct.
Crowds of people visited the ruins of
Monday nights fire on Broughton street
yesterday morning. The bare, black walls
and the piles of burned goods show that the
first estimates of the losses were not far
wrong.
Mr. Weisbeins stock was total loss
What was not burned was ruined by
water. Iovell's hardware stock was dam
aged by water on the first floor, but the
Aeock of heavy hardware in the cellar was
eaved. The upper portion Of the front wall
at the building occupied by NJ. Sternberg
Inns bulged ont eight or ten inches, and viii
have to be taken down before it can be re-
paired.
The proprietors were at Il loss to know in
what position they stood regarding the in-
surance companies. They did not know
whether the Insurance companies owned tho
damaged stocks, or whether they them
selves owned them. This position was par
ticulally embarrassing TO Edward Lowell Il
Sons, for they have large stock of finished
steel goods on the first floor that was wet,
ard uhoy did not know whether to put men
70 work cleaning them. or TO let them stand
for the company TO care for, but the latter
course Yves Followed.
As soon es Mr.. Lowell, Sr., can close up
the matter OF insurance he win begin the
reconstruction Of the burned buildings,
uSing the old walls so FAR as they can be
used

THE LoNGsHoREMRN's STRIKE.
The Wharves Guarded by Police-A
Lumber Merchants Views.

The Wharves Guarded by Police-A
Lumber Merchants Views.
The lumber longshoremen are still stand
ing out for the advance they asked for and
they refuse to work unless they receive
higher wages. They have created no dis
turbance, but squad of five policemen is
stationed at the wharves where the vessels
are loading as a precautionary measure.
The ships are employing outside men and
loading with but little delay.
The longshoremen are not interfering but
whenever they catch one of the laborers
away from work they use moral suasion to
induce him to quit. A lumber merchant
started down to the wharves yesterday with
gang of twenty-five men who had con-
sented to work at the old wages, but one by
one they were induced to leave by the
strikers who met them on the way, and be-
fore the wharves were reached all but five
had deserted
The same merchant said that if the ad-
vance is allowed it will be a disastrous
thing to the lumber and naval stores inter
ests of the port. His firm had formerly
shipped 30,000,000 feet of lumber from Sa-
vannah and 10000, 600 feet from Brunswick,
but they have obtained freight rates that
enables them to turn nearly their entire
business TO Savannah; still they
are in position to carry their business to
Brunswick, and they will certainly do it if
the wages go up, for the increase will make
their expenses in Savannah $4,000 more
per annum than they will be in Brunswick.
and they certainly win not pay this amount
for the privilege of doing business here

improvements and Changes That Have
Recently Been Made.
Several important changes have been
made in the Savannah Hospital under the
supervision of the medical staff, and they
will add greatly to the usefulness of that
institution. The eastern portion of the third
floor has hitherto been utilized as a lumber
room only, but it has now been cut up into
children's ward, two operating rooms and
a nurses room. The children's ward Is large
and airy and will furnish an excellent place
in which the little ones may be cared for.
The hospital has had no place for children
and the medical staff has long been DESTROYS
of place in which they could be received
and treated, but until recently they have
been unable to prepare one. Operating
rooms removed from proximity to the sick
wards have also been needed and have now
been provided. An elevator has been put in
and it will save deal of trouble. 1t is large
enough to place cot upon and the sick can be
moved from one floor to another when
necessary without the laborious and, to them,
painful task Of carrying them up or dow.
stairs. Formerly the patients that were
brought in had to be borne up the long
stairs to the entrance of the hospital, but
two of the basement windows lave been
thrown into one, and DOORWAY made so that
the stretcher bearers wiz nave to descend
only four steps instea-, of climbing twenty,
and place the paticllt ON the elevator.
No one ex 'Ar ! those conversant with the
requirements of hospital service can fully
appreci .te the value of these improvements,

THE SEASON AT TYBEE.
The Contract for Furnishing the Ocean
House Awarded

AAObtSO "A oSN
Savannahians are anxiously inauiring
when tho Tybee railroad will be completed
and the season will be opened at the beach.
The Tybee company has just awarded the
contract for the furnishing of the Ocean
House to Messrs. NJ Boley g. Sons, of this
city, to be completed by June 20. The road
will probably be running through to the
island by that time, though the regular
schedule may not go into effect until June
%.
The hotel has been thoroughly repaired
throughout. New ash furniture of the lat
est style will be put in every room. The
parlors and offices will be furnished with
rattan furniture. All of the furnishing by
Messrs. Boley q Son will be of home manu-
facture.
Mr. Hodges will take possession of the
hotel as soon as the furnishing is complete,
and it win be opened at once
Dir A. Vetsburg, of the Tybee Company,
said Inst night that by July Tybee will be
in full blast The hotel will be ready for
guests by that time, and the regular sched-
llle OF trains will be III operation, so that
Savannahians win not have to 20 to Pablo
Beach, Sullivans Island or Beaufort to
spend Sunday. They can make the run to
Tybee in thirty minutes and be assured of
as comfortable quarters can be had any
where on the coast. The Ocean House has
forty-eight guest rooms, but by next year
IL the resort proves rs popular us there is
every assurance that it will he, new aud
handsome hotel will be built.
